Assignment # 4 Dance Genre Favorite

Well gals, we have been dancing together for 10 weeks now, and we have 4 weeks to go. Time has really flown. I am curious which style of dance you have enjoyed the most so far.

This assignment is a piece of cake.

I want you to pick the dance style that you like best and do a little research about it.

In a comment to this post, please answer these 5 questions in a 250 word minimum essay.

1) What is the dance genre/style you are researching?
2) What type of movement characterizes this style?
3) How did it evolve?
4) Who is famous for dancing it?
5) What did you learn about this dance genre that you did not know before?

Please cite your resources.
